Arunachal - Gateway to Serenity

Let’s take you to the serene land of Tawang where you will meet pink-cheeked babies, Buddhist flags fluttering in the winds, snow-capped mountains, quaint shops and calming chants wandering in the air. Tawang located at a height of 10,000ft above sea level in Arunachal Pradesh is the birthplace of the sixth Dalai Lama and hence a significant site for Tibetan Buddhists. We shall visit the 400-year old stunning Tawang monastery and the high-altitude mountain road called the Sela Pass.

BHUTAN EXPERIENCE WITH JUNGLELORE

We set off for our Bhutan trip on 11th October 2010, with a feeling of excitement and a little bit of apprehension. Our trip started form Baghdogra in West Bengal and we traveled by road to Phuntsholing in Bhutan where we spent our first night. The next day after some local sightseeing we left for Thimpu, the capital of Bhutan where we spent the next couple of days. Our stay in Thimpu was very comfortable and we absorbed the new experiences of the new country. After that we proceeded to Paro which was the old capital of Bhutan. The highlight of our stay in Paro was our trek to Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The long and arduous trek to the Monastery was made worthwhile by the spectacular glimpse of the Monastery. From Paro we came back to India and spent the last night of our journey in Gorumara which has wildlife sanctuaries for bison, rhinos and elephants. We went for a quick safari in the jungle on the last morning of our trip and made our way back to Baghdogra.. Bhutan is a very beautiful and clean country and definitely a must see. We returned from the trip refreshed and with sweet memories. Our traveling and stay in Bhutan was comfortable and we had an enjoyable week

LAXMI TALKS ABOUT JUNGLELORE

From the forts of the Sahyadris to Monasteries of Ladakh , from canter safaris in Ranthambhore to white water rafting in the river Kundalika....each trip has been memorable and a lot of fun.

It all started over 3 years ago for me....one trip to Ranthambhore with the Jungle Lore team and I was hooked and asking for more.

Every trip has resulted in some amazing photographs, beautiful memories and new friends.
